Ferland won the Vancouver series by causing that defensive core to turn over the puck and make bad passes. You'd think that might have made an impression on Gulutzan. Why not let Ferland and Tkachuk loose to pound the Ducks on the forecheck when the Ducks had a depleted defense core. It would have been turnover city.
Kassian is playing like Ferland did and made the Sharks defense very uncomfortable. Oh well at least Gulutzan is a great motivator.....hahahahahaha

A lot of your post is gobblede#### and poppycock
but I will say the 'reigning in' of Tkachuk after the LA stuff irks me a lot cause he was playing timid and not himself thereafter. Telling him he can't go out and do things that make him effective, or whatever they said exactly, was a mistake on their part, regardless of how much of a loose cannon he was being. Don't cage the tiger!
